Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg announced on Monday that they had purchased Instagram for $ 1 Billion. According to the New York Times, Zuckerberg has made a total of four posts since he signed up for Instagram in October of 2010. The paper suggests that’s $250 million a photo.

Although the purchase has elicited some positive response from users, it hasn’t all been peaches and cream. “Stick to being overlord of Facebook. We don’t want you on Instagram,” wrote one less than enthusiastic Instagram user. The Times reports that particular comment has since been deleted. What’s more, tutorials are popping up all over the Internet with instructions on how to bail on Instagram while keeping your photographs

Change is tough. Implementing change is never easy—particularly for some Instagram users. However, for most of us, change is pretty much a fact of life. In fact, Benjamin Franklin once said, “In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.”

When change does happen, particularly within the workplace, most of the common problems associated with change are really excuses. They are seldom roadblocks.

Setting aside the current situation with Instagram and Facebook, business leaders who know what to expect when initiating change can make the culture shock a little easier to deal with. I’ve noticed over the years fear of change is often just fear of the unknown. When initiating change among teams, some of the challenges that surface are very common. Here are a few to consider:

It’s Different: It’s important to realize up front that although there are some people who really thrive on change, most people don’t. You’ll likely get pushback from the team simply because it’s a change. I think the key here is to understand, for most people, it takes some time for them to embrace something new. Whether it’s a new practice, a new process or a new boss—giving people time to accept change is important

Some People (Managers andTeam Members) are Uncomfortable With the Additional Scrutiny That Often Accompanies Change: As organizations mature, change is often associated with more clearly defined processes and decision-making practices. The likelihood that there will be members of the group uncomfortable with the additional scrutiny is high. Making the new processes transparent and understandable often helps reduce the stress associated with those types of changes.

Some Initiatives are More Important Than Others: Particularly in today’s business climate, the decisions made about which initiatives are pursued and which are not is critical to success. I’ve seen numerous companies institute a more formalized process for evaluating potential projects and other work over the last couple of years. Although it’s been a healthy and needed exercise, there has been pushback associated with the initiatives. This process usually results in some stakeholder’s pet projects being abandoned in favor of work that provides a clearer value to the organization. Depending on the initiative, it’s possible that even some senior people will push back as their personal projects are abandoned in favor of something else.

There are Tough Decisions to be Made: Sometimes it’s not easy for decision-makers to make choices regarding people and the work they do—but it has to happen. It’s important that everyone understands their role and how that impacts the organization as a whole. Often, petty differences between departments need to be set aside to keep organizations profitable and successful. Although there are some who might not like this fact, fostering an environment where everyone on the “team” benefits from success will help alleviate that type of departmental infighting.

Implementing Change Takes Time: There’s no such thing as a “quick” change—it never happens overnight. It takes time to implement new methods; it takes time for people to accept change and accommodating for that time is important and critical for change initiatives to be successful.

Some change initiatives are just inherently more challenging than others. In my experience, these tips can help alleviate the discomfort and stress associated with change—it might just take a little time for some Instagram users.
